Busy Bee Hardware receives court summons from UC system over wall encroachment BY JENNIFER MAAS Daily Press Staff
MONICA BLVD. Busy Bee Hardware, located at 1521 Santa Monica Blvd., is being sued by the Regents of the University of California for damages caused to university property at 1525 Santa Monica Blvd. The two properties are adjacent to each other and the dispute is based on a shared wall that is part of the Busy Bee business, but sits

on UCLA property. The lawsuit, which was served to Busy Bee on July 2, alleges that Busy Bee is leasing its property from owner George A. Haine, and the business as well as Haine are named in the suit because UCLA is “unaware of the true names and capacities of defendants sued.” “After more than a year of trying to resolve this issue with Busy Bee in a friendly and neighborly

SMC announces new judge David B. Finkel social justice scholarship Santa Monica College has announced the new Judge David B. Finkel Social Justice Scholarship. The endowed scholarship was established by the family of the late SMC Trustee, civic leader and civil rights champion to continue his legacy of providing educational opportunities for SMC students. “Santa Monica College and the SMC Foundation are honored by the Finkel family’s decision to establish a scholarship

fund to honor David Finkel’s legacy,” said SMC Foundation Interim President Lizzy Moore. “This scholarship will help make it possible for many deserving SMC students, those David Finkel championed tirelessly in his lifetime, to move forward in their education.” Judge Finkel, who died at age 83 on July 4 after a prolonged illness, had a prolific career that spanned six decades of struggles for civil rights, freedom of speech, affordable housing and educational equality. He was a founding member of Santa Monicans for Renters Rights, a former member of the Santa Monica City Council (where he served a term as Mayor Pro Tempore), elected to the Santa Monica Municipal Court, and elevated to Superior Court Judge. Retiring from the bench in 2002, he began teaching political science at SMC, focusing on his passion for constitutional law. After being elected to the SMC Board of Trustees in 2006 and 2010, and serving as Chair in 2010, he continued to volunteer in the classroom for as long as his health permitted. “David knew how difficult it was for so many kids to even gain entry to college,” said feminist artist and activist Bruria Finkel of her husband. “And once they were here at SMC, he was really anxious for them to be able to go on to the universities, and to really perform the way they wished. We wanted something tangible to remember him by, and setting up a scholarship seemed like the right thing to do. He wouldn’t be happy that we named the scholarship after him, but it will help those who loved him to honor his memory by carrying on his legacy.” The City of Santa Monica has provided a matching-funds gift of $10,000. “The City Council honors our colleague David Finkel in a way that reflects his deep commitment to education for all,” said Santa Monica Mayor Kevin McKeown. “Our hope is that these matching funds from the City of Santa Monica will spur even more generous donations to the Judge David B. Finkel Social Justice Scholarship.” The scholarship will offer annual awards to selected students who are in SMC’s stu-

Big Blue Bus Service Changes on August 23 Big Blue Bus (BBB) is preparing to meet the train, embarking upon major service and stop changes over the next twelve months as part of the Evolution of Blue campaign. The first phase of the Evolution of Blue plan to integrate BBB’s service with the Expo Light Rail Line will begin on August 23, as BBB rolls out major changes on several routes. Route 15, which is a new route, with service along the Barrington Avenue corridor, will be added. Routes 5 and 14 will be modified, including new service to Playa Vista on the Route 14. More service, including during weekends, will be added on the Rapid 3 and Rapid 7, in addition to regular bus stop changes. Three routes will be discontinued - Routes 6, 13 and Rapid 20. See full details at bigbluebus.com/servicechange.

The “Little Blue Book” system-wide schedule for BBB routes that includes a large foldout System Map is now available on board, at the Transit Store and strategic locations such as local libraries and senior centers. To ensure they get the new version, customers can look for the red band showing the new effective date of August 23. In an effort to expand customer communication tools and technology improvements, BBB has recently launched a new website feature with a Google Maps insert on each of its route pages. The new maps show the full complement of bus stops on each route, which is especially useful with the many changes taking place over the next year. BBB launched the NextBus Real Time Mobile Application in July so that customers have access to real time data. Lastly, BBB provides regional seamless fare payment as customers can now pay with TAP cards. Transit Director, Ed King said, “BBB is in an incredible time of opportunity for our community and our customers, a time of change as our team works to transform all of our routes over the next year.” King adds, “These changes were vetted over an 18-month period with stakeholders, the community and customers. Sometimes change is challenging, especially for customers who will be asked to change their travel patterns. Our goal is to maintain service locally and provide regional access to and from Santa Monica using public transit and trains that are convenient and reliable for even more customers. More people on buses and trains translates to fewer cars on the road, a tremendous benefit to everyone in the region with improved quality of life.” Big Blue Bus fares are $1 per ride on all routes with a $1 surcharge on the Rapid 10 Express to Downtown Los Angeles. Day-passes are available for $4 that allow unlimited rides in a calendar day and regular priced monthly passes are $60. All passes are available on TAP cards and can be purchased online at taptogo.net. - SUBMITTED BY AIMEE WYATT

Carolyn and the Wave Chasers WHATEVER YOU’RE DOING THIS
weekend it has to be more exciting than what I’ll be doing. I doubt, however, it could be as unique as what my friend Carolyn will be doing. Mine will involve laundry. A whole weekend? You see I often deal with laundry as I write these columns, only after prolonged procrastination. With the columns, as Friday approaches, I finally buckle down. With laundry I postpone it until I’ve run out of clean clothes. On these occasions I use so many washers and dryers that the process involves three steps. Washing and drying, folding and finally putting the laundry away, which can take days. (Don’t fall asleep, I’m almost done with this intro.) Further trouble is when I haven’t completely put away the laundry and it’s time to wash more. Another troubling sign is when I write about doing laundry, so let’s jump to the latest challenge of Santa Monica resident, Carolyn Hollingsworth. (a.k.a. “Wonder Woman” for reasons that will become obvious.) Carolyn is captain of a co-ed team of awesome long distance swimmers, ranging in ages from 20’s to 50’s, the Wave Chasers. While I’ll be busy doing laundry with Tide, the Wave Chasers will be dealing with a real tide as they attempt a relay crossing of the Catalina Channel. They’ll start in Avalon at 1 a.m. in absolute pitch darkness and hopefully finish in sunshine at 10 or 11 a.m. later that morning. The whole thing should be a walk in the park. That is, if the park you walk in is completely dark and has the possibility of 4-foot swells, sharks, jellyfish and kelp beds. The six swimmers, two kayakers, one kayak, equipment, food and emergency medical supplies will be aboard the Outrider, captained by John Pitman. They will head out from San Pedro around 10 p.m.
Saturday. (Or approximately when I put in my first load of laundry.) The Outrider will stop about 200 meters from the Catalina shoreline. At approximately 12:40 a.m., Carolyn will dive off and swim to shore. Under the watchful eyes of two officials from the Catalina Island Swim Federation, at 1 a.m. a horn will sound and Carolyn will begin the first leg of the race in complete darkness. It’s so dark, the Wave Chasers won’t be able to see their hands in front of their faces. “It’s like being in a wet, cold, black closet where you have no idea what’s lurking beneath you,” Carolyn jokes. (Sounds like a Stephen King novel, if you ask me.) As Carolyn and the Chasers swim, all they will have for reference will be the nearby kayak manned by Bill Kalmenson and Josh Lara who will be equipped with glow sticks. What makes Carolyn even more heroic in my eyes is that she has battled Lupus for over a decade. So I guess cold, dark water and all the mysterious creatures lurking below is no big deal. (It would be for me!) After one hour, the second swimmer, Chris Georges, will enter the water, high-five Carolyn, and begin his leg. (The two must touch for the transfer to be official.) Sadie Standley swims leg No. 3, Jenny Douherty No. 4, Noah Witlin No. 5 and Tara Shima No. 6. If all goes well, Carolyn estimates each team member will swim twice in the 21-mile trek. During the crossing, Carolyn looks forward to encountering seals, dolphins and maybe even a whale. As for sharks, she jokes again, “I’m going on the assumption they’re vegetarians.” As the last swimmer nears land, he or she can be joined in the water by the rest of the Chasers but they must remain behind the lead swimmer. On the sand the group will celebrate the culmination of months of

Monica has to offer people with disabilities. For example, the Commission has worked with the City to expand access to our lovely beaches by establishing accessible paths across the sand, by making motorized and manual beach chairs available to the public free of charge, and by installing signage to advance the goal of accessibility. The Commission advocated for the City’s first universally accessible playground - designed so children of all abilities can play together at South Beach Park; and a second such playground is on its way to the beach at Montana Avenue. This past May, the Commission cosponsored Life Rolls On - hundreds participated in the adaptive surfing event for people with spinal cord injuries. The Commission also works to promote accessibility in our day-to-day lives by partnering with the City to provide accessible transportation, housing, and community facilities, and working to raise awareness about accessibility and the importance of belonging in our schools, the workplace, and the community. The Santa Monica Disabilities Commission has become a model to other local cities of how to implement belonging in practical and meaningful collaborations and events that simultaneously educate and enfold people into our beautiful community. The work of expanding rights for people with disabilities is far from over. More work needs to be done in the areas of alleviating poverty and unemployment, and the Commission will continue to advance the rights of people with disabilities to enjoy all Santa Monica has to offer in the decades to come.

Commission, comprised of eleven Santa Monica residents with and without disabilities, celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The ADA is an accommodation and anti-discrimination statute signed into law twenty-five years ago on July 26, 1990. The ADA is the first comprehensive law protecting people from discrimination in employment based on their disabilities and mandating equal access to public and private services, including transportation. It was a collaborative effort of Democrats, Republicans, the legislative and the executive branches, federal and state agencies, and people with and without disabilities. The new paradigm advanced by the ADA rejects the “medical model” that having a disability is defective or abnormal. It is said that impairment will eventually be the life experience of every person. In fact, it is estimated that 1 out of 5 people in the U.S. live with what the ADA describes as “a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.” Disability law professor and scholar Ann Hubbard argues that “belonging” is a major life activity inherent in the ADA. According to Hubbard, belonging has two qualities: personal relationships containing love and friendship with a shared vision; and social acceptance, which is the respect of others that creates community inclusion and establishes an individual’s “rightful place in the world.” Since the Santa Monica Disabilities Commission was formed over a decade ago, the Commission has worked to advance belonging as a feature of the good life Santa

WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE CARELESSNESS OR NEGLIGENCE OF OTHERS.
The City of Santa Monica has announced the Pico Branch Library has been certified Platinum, the highest rating achievable in the LEED Green Building Certification Program. The library is the first City-owned building in Santa Monica to be awarded this distinction. LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices. The library, located in Virginia Avenue Park at 2201 Pico Boulevard, opened its doors in summer 2014. Designed by Koning Eizenberg Architecture of Santa Monica, the 8,690 square-foot branch library features a single-story, two-building design with ample sustainable strategies implemented throughout. To qualify for the Platinum Certification the Pico Library had to score over 80 points spread out over five categories; Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources and Indoor Environmental Quality. The Pico Branch Library earned 89 points to achieve its distinguished Platinum LEED Certification. Some of the specific features that led to the honor are: Sustainable Sites: Six electric vehicle charging stations, 18 bicycle racks and 62.5% of site is open space. Water Efficiency: Low-flow fixtures and rainwater harvesting for toilet flushing saving an estimated 28,158 gallons yearly and drought tolerant and native landscaping with drip irrigation.

agency approved large fines Thursday against two state senators and a campaign committee that spent $3.3 million backing Gov. Jerry Brown in 2010. The fines, agreed to by the candidates and campaigns and recommended by commission staff earlier this month, also include $76,650 in penalties against a donor accused of laundering political contributions to Wendy Greuel, a failed candidate in the 2013 Los Angeles mayoral race, the Fair Political Practices Commission said.

Other fines approved Thursday include: $23,000 against Republican Sen. Jim Nielsen of Gerber and other GOP groups for
allegedly funneling over-the-limit contributions through the county party from Nielsen to a losing candidate for state Assembly. $16,000 against Million More Voters, an independent expenditure committee funded by the California Labor Federation, AFLCIO, for failing to timely report $3.3 million in 2010 expenditures supporting Gov. Jerry Brown and nearly $750,000 in spending supporting state Attorney General Kamala Harris, both Democrats. $10,000 against the independent campaign expenditure committee Vote Matters and $6,000 against Coto for Senate 2012, for improper coordination between the committee and the campaign to elect former Assemblyman Joe Coto to the Senate. He lost the race. $4,000 against the campaign of Sen. Ben Allen, D-Santa Monica, and a Santa Monica property owner for failing to disclose that Allen received discounted rent at his Santa Monica campaign headquarters.

LA Dodgers’ luxury tax payroll could top $300 million RONALD BLUM AP Baseball Writer
NEW YORK Chase Utley’s acquisition put the
Los Angeles Dodgers close to becoming the first baseball team with a $300 million luxury-tax payroll. The trade Wednesday that sent the sixtime All-Star second baseman from Philadelphia to the NL West leaders raised the Dodgers’ projected payroll for tax purposes to about $298.5 million, according to calculations by Major League Baseball. Performance bonuses for other players and end-of-season award bonuses could make the Dodgers the first team to reach the $300 million mark. “That’s fine. They haven’t won the championship,” Baltimore All-Star outfielder Adam Jones said. “You still have to play between the lines - same thing with the Yankees in the ‘90s and 2000s. It’s baseball, man. Our union is tough enough to fight for our rights and we don’t have a salary cap. Los Angeles is the second-biggest city in the United States. They can support it. I don’t have to pay it!” Luxury tax payrolls are based average annual values of contracts for the 40-man roster and include about $13 million per team in benefits, such as the health and pension plan, and payroll, unemployment and Social Security taxes paid by clubs. Los Angeles is well above the $189 million tax threshold and will pay at a 40 percent rate for exceeding the mark for the third straight year. Its projected tax bill is about
$44 million, which would top the record $34 million paid by the New York Yankees after the 2005 season. The Dodgers’ luxury tax payroll includes about $40 million for players no longer with the organization. Los Angeles paid $11.4 million in tax in 2013 and $26.6 million last year, when its tax payroll was $277.7 million. The Dodgers’ regular payroll - salaries plus prorated shares of signing bonuses and earned bonuses - is at about $285 million, up from a record $257 million last year. Utley receives as additional $1.13 million assignment bonus from the Phillies for agreeing to the trade, raising his potential 2015 income to $16.13 million. Philadelphia also agreed to cover the cost of the $2 million buyout if the Dodgers decline his 2016 option, currently on track to be at a price of $11 million. Los Angeles is paying $2.13 million to the second baseman for the remainder of this season. As part of the trade, the Phillies agreed to send the Dodgers $383,661 by Oct. 15, covering a portion of the $2,513,661 remaining on the second baseman’s $10 million salary for this season. In addition, the Phillies will pay the entire cost of Utley’s roster bonus, which will be the full $5 million, unless he has a specified knee injury during the rest of the season that puts him on the disabled list for 15 or more days. AP Sports Writer David Ginsburg in Baltimore contributed to this report.

TEACHER FROM PAGE 1
living in a foreign country, and I wanted to put myself in a situation where I’m totally out of my comfort zone and every little thing is going to be hard,” she said. Liaw will be working specifically with the Roma population, a minority group living in Europe and the Americas whose origins can be traced to the Indian subcontinent. The Roma people have been stigmatized, she said, and there is a longstanding achievement gap between Roma students and their peers. Many of the students Liaw will serve don’t have strong family support or academic role models, a dynamic with which she’s grown familiar during her time as an English teacher at the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District’s continuation campus. Liaw said she didn’t know much about the Roma population until reading the Fulbright program’s description. “It sounded up my alley,” she said of the opportunity. “It’s directly related to what I do at Olympic because I work with at-risk youth.” Liaw is eager to participate in the Fulbright program after being turned away twice before. The first time, she said, she was designated as an alternate. The second time, she didn’t make the final cut. Liaw applied for a third time this past October, submitting a statement of purpose as well as a personal essay about why she’s a

good fit for the scholarship. She was accepted this spring. Born in San Bernardino, Liaw attended Pomona College in Claremont before earning a master’s in English at the University of Washington and a master’s in education at UCLA. “For me, school’s always been a comfortable environment,” she said. “It’s easy to forget what school can feel like for students when academics doesn’t come naturally.” Liaw will receive an allotment for housing as well as a monthly stipend as she lives and works in Debrecen, the second-largest city in Hungary. She’ll spend time at a Roma residential college as well as at the University of Debrecen, where she plans to teach American studies. Because she’ll be teaching English as well, Liaw believes the skills she’ll develop abroad will make her a better language arts teacher when she returns to the United States. Liaw said she’s hoping to return to SMMUSD after her academic year in Hungary but that nothing has been finalized yet. She added that she’s inspired by her experience at Olympic, where students face academic, financial and social challenges on a daily basis. “It’s going to motivate me when I’m there,” she said. “I’m going be in a position where I’m going to feel like an outsider and disadvantaged. I’m going to remember the students. Because if they can do that, I can do this.” jeff@smdp.com

fashion, the University of California has been forced to seek legal action to obtain a response from the property and business owners,” Simi Singer, spokesperson for UCLA Medical Center, Santa Monica, said. Busy Bee told the Daily Press they were unable to contact Haine, who had moved to Hawaii several years ago, during the time that UCLA was discussing the problem with them. “We have since located Mr. Haine and he is in good contact with us now and is aware of the situation,” Joseph Hunter, supervisor of Busy Bee, said. “This situation goes back to June of 2014, when we received word from UCLA, our neighbor of three years, via a representative who came over to our store on a Friday and told us that the following Monday they were going to begin demolition on the building next door with which we share a concrete block wall in an ‘L’ shape,” said Hunter. Hunter said the wall spans 30 feet (north side) by 60 feet (east side/northern section) by 18 feet (height). “Initially, UCLA was under the impression that there were two concrete block walls between us and told us not to worry because they were going to demolish their wall but, they were going to keep our wall intact,” he said. “I explained to them that there was only one wall for a big part of the area that they intended to demolish, which they couldn’t believe until I took pictures from the roof which clearly show that, although there’s two walls for a short distance, approximately 22 feet, then there is an area that extends for over 90 feet where there is only one wall.” Hunter said UCLA attempted to convince Busy Bee to quickly build a different wall on their property’s side so workers could tear down the entirety of the current ones. But Hunter said the concrete block walls constitute the walls of Busy Bee’s warehouse. “The roof of the warehouse uses these walls for lateral and subjacent support. We have used them peacefully, openly, honestly and continuously since the time the current owner has had possession, over 50 years,” he said.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 2015
Hunter said that Busy Bee did have estimates done to determine the cost of a replacement concrete block wall, “but due to the complexity of the job … we secured five estimates which averaged out to $144,000. Permits, architectural drawings and structural analysis not included in these estimates,” he said. “That’s just to have the wall rebuilt.” Singer said UCLA has repeatedly attempted to resolve the issue with Busy Bee, “including a goodwill offer to subsidize the cost of removing their encroachments,” but “both Busy Bee and the property owner have ignored our efforts to compromise and refused to work toward a resolution,” she said. “They have left us no choice but to seek legal action to achieve a solution.” The documents served to Busy Bee Hardware by UCLA and obtained by the Daily Press state they are suing Busy Bee for trespass, nuisance title and quiet title. They are demanding damages for each of these claims. “Busy Bee Hardware’s unpermitted storage area encroaches on property of the University of California and could present a safety hazard if left in its existing condition. Busy Bee’s encroachment has also halted plans of the University’s hospital to build on its property,” Singer said. Hunter said these claims are unfounded, as the store has been in peaceful possession by the owner for over 50 years; an agreement that promises the tenant of a real property a right to possess the property in peace, without disturbance by antagonistic claimants. Hunter stated that while Busy Bee had hired a lawyer when the situation began in 2014, they cannot afford ongoing legal fees and are currently without legal representation. “[Busy Bee] has been running at a loss over the past few years, partially due to current economic challenges, but most severely impacted in a negative way over the last year while UCLA was demolishing the building next door, we saw an immediate and substantial loss of customer flow that coincided with the demolition project next door,” Hunter said. Hunter said that if this case goes to trial, “Busy Bee will most certainly go bankrupt.” jennifer@smdp.com

FILM REVIEW
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: ROGUE NATION Rated PG13 131 Minutes Released July 31st This latest installment of Mission Impossible, subtitled “Rogue Nation,” comes through with everything you’ve ever wanted in an action-thriller franchise: awesome visuals, split-second danger and decisionmaking, unexpected twists and heart-stopping predicaments. Tom Cruise is still able to portray the angst-driven spy with believability. He certainly plays the role with heart. Director Christopher McQuarrie notes “As I told Tom at our first meeting, nobody sells ‘Oh, s---t!’ better than you do. He’s not afraid to look afraid.” McQuarrie had worked with Cruise doing script revisions for Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Cruise felt McQuarrie had the skills to direct the next chapter of the franchise. Each of the five Tom Cruise “Mission Impossible” movies has had a different director, and for more than one it was their first time directing a major feature. All have gone on to become artists in their craft. Each of these films has been a success, due in good part to the existence of an established style and formula and to the oversight of Cruise. Cruise likes to do as much of the stunts himself as possible, so the fear that he portrays is probably real. In this film he proves
Visit us online at www.smdp.com
he’s still got it as an action hero. Rebecca Ferguson steals not just a few scenes however, as the double-spy love interest. This is Ferguson’s first major feature starring role, and she shines. This Swedish soap opera star delivers the poker face necessary for a double agent, yet is able to convey complex, enigmatic emotions in each scene with just her eyes. Not to mention that she trained for months as a serious stuntwoman in order to do her own action scenes, which are truly spectacular. Jeremy Renner does a nice job of bringing an introspective, troubled quality to his supporting role. The first plot line culminates in a fantastic unexpected action scene. As Cruise sets the stage to make a hair-raising escape by letting himself be sucked out of the back of … I won’t give it away. Near the end of the film, suspenseful scenes are played out against a backdrop of a performance of Turandot at the famous Vienna Opera House, which provides an overlay of high drama. What MI: Rogue Nation does well is to take us for a roller coaster ride with the stars. Although, I would like to have seen more driver point-of-view shots in the lightning speed car and motorcycle chases. This is not a film driven by a strong script. Word is that the director was rewriting scenes as he was shooting, and that a satisfactory end for the story did not manifest itself until filming was almost over. The Cinematographer, Robert Elswit, Editor Eddie Hamilton, Production Designer James D. Bissell and Composer Joe Kraemer are all veterans of action films and turn in a highly polished movie. MI: Rogue Nation is a consummate action thriller. It doesn’t try to be anything else. And it delivers.

Crime Watch is culled from reports provided by the Santa Monica Police Department. These are arrests only. All parties are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
ON AUGUST 15 AT APPROXIMATELY 7 P.M. Officers were driving on Lincoln Boulevard when they saw a car stalled out at Bay Street. They parked and approached the vehicle to see if they could help the driver. When they gave dispatch the license plate, they were advised the vehicle was stolen from Santa Monica about one week prior. The car was unoccupied but a witness saw the driver exit the vehicle and walk into a nearby business. Based on the witness description, the officer located the driver who claimed her sister was the driver and she was in the passenger seat. Video from a nearby business showed the suspect as the only occupant of the car and exiting through the driver’s side. A consensual search of her purse led to the discovery of methamphetamine and a glass pipe to ingest the narcotic. Based on the witness statements and physical evidence, the driver was arrested for stolen vehicle and possession of narcotics and narcotic paraphernalia. Ebony Autumn Harter, 28, of Santa Monica has bail set at $25,000.

Sudoku Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each number can appear only once in each row, column, and 3x3 block. Use logic and process of elimination to solve the puzzle. The difficulty level ranges from (easiest) to (hardest).
GETTING STARTED There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing. Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

■ The Joy of Protest: An August 1 demonstration outside Britain’s Parliament protesting legislation to curb until-nowlegal psychoactive drugs drew about 100 people — consuming their drug of choice, nitrous oxide. As organizers distributed gas-filled balloons for demonstrators to take hits from, “the group erupted in fits of laughter,” according to The Guardian. ■ Despite repeated assurances by Olympic officials, it appears more certain than ever that 2016 boating and surfing events in Brazil’s Guanabara Bay and Rodrigo de Freitas Lake will be conducted in water so polluted with human sewage that every athlete will almost certainly be struck with fever, vomiting and diarrhea. An August Associated Press report revealed the waters’ virus levels (of fecal coliform and other viruses) are as high as
SHEPARD
2 million times the level that would close down a California beach. (Olympic and local officials continue to insist that the water will be safe by next summer, but, as the AP pointed out, their protocols test only for bacteria and not viruses. One U.S. water-quality expert advised all athletes to move to Rio ahead of the games -- to try to build up an immunity.) ■ About 200 protesters gathered in front of Hong Kong police headquarters on August 2 to denounce the 3 1/2-month jail sentence given to Ms. Ng Lai-ying, 30, who was convicted of assault for shoving a police officer with her chest. Women (and some men) wearing bras as outerwear chanted, “Breast is not a weapon.” (Ng was originally protesting the hardly sexy issue of import-export abuses between Hong Kong and mainland China cities.)

It’s a fracking good life By Mikey Tittinger
One person’s hydraulic fracturing is another’s “fracking”. Whatever you call it, extracting natural gas from the earth by injecting water, guar gum and chemicals is good fun. Still, some wet blanket of a California lawmaker — Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Glendale) — wants a new label for food irrigated with “fracking water”. But anonymous agriculture experts counter there isn’t enough known about the topic. Good enough for me.
I like fracking. I like saying the word fracking. So much so that I’ve even made my top-10 list of Things to like Love About Fracking: Tree huggers say the earth is an organism. I say what organism doesn’t feel better releasing gas?
France banned fracking in 2001. Stick it, France. Googling the word “fracking” is an easy excuse for your inappropriate search history. Well water keeps warm in winter! Cool new rock formations. Who has time for erosion?
Something to talk about with Dick Cheney while in line at Tender Greens.
You can keep wear that t-shirt you bought from a hot sales girl while drunk: “I’d frack that!”
If you love fracking like this guy, tell Assemblyman Gatto. (And even if you don’t, he’d probably still listen to you.)
Salty “brine” water is good after a workout.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: ★★★★★Dynamic ★★ So-So ★★★★ Positive ★ Difficult ★★★ Average
This year you open up to a new level of understanding. Your willingness to accept greater responsibility and move in a new direction is admirable. You are likely to witness great financial security through a pay raise or a lucky break. This could occur as soon as next month. If you are single, you have a great depth and intensity about you that attracts the opposite sex. Refuse to give too much away too soon in a relationship. If you are attached, the two of will experience greater flexibility with money and are likely to make a major purchase. SCORPIO can rain on your parade.
